Enhancing fertility for the Thoroughbred and Standardbred industries. Responding to industry calls for improved methods of detecting and managing infertility in both stallions and mares, this project aims to provide a platform for competitive collaborations between universities, biotechnology companies and horse breeders: the end-users of technological developments in equine reproduction. The Thoroughbred and Standardbred breeding industries contribute over $6.5 billion per annum to the Australian economy and employ thousands of staff across their value chains. However, these industries suffer from breeding program inefficiencies that amount to over $800 million in annual losses. Expected outcomes are novel reproductive technologies and specialised research capabilities that will make the Australian equine industry a global leader.

提高纯种马和标准马产业的繁殖力。为了响应业界对检测和管理种马和种马不育症的改进方法的呼吁，该项目旨在为大学，生物技术公司和马育种者之间的竞争性合作提供一个平台：马繁殖技术发展的最终用户。纯种马和标准马繁育业每年为澳大利亚经济贡献超过65亿澳元，并在其价值链中雇用数千名员工。然而，这些行业因育种计划效率低下而遭受损失，每年损失超过8亿美元。预期成果是新的生殖技术和专业研究能力，这将使澳大利亚马产业成为全球领导者。
